There yer go again EP. Suggesting that my eyes are somehow faulty.

 

I'll have you know that on Saturday I saw a cricket on a post a fair way off. I ventured towards it; counting out the paces as i went. Mobile camera in hand. Sixty metres, give or take a cm or two. I was gonna take a pic, but the creature jumped off into the undergrowth.

 

So you are wrong again EP. My eyes are fine.

Very pleased to hear that your eyes are still fine

I have just seen a harrowing account of the fate of Gina Semiatich, a 90 year old Kibbutz resident who as a little Czech Jewish girl survived the concentration camps of The Holocaust.

 

She was dragged from her home, forced to kneel and shot in the back of the head.

 

I cannot summon up one jot of sympathy for the people who did this ( murdering bastards) or for the people who celebrate and tolerate it being done in their name, or their international supporters.

 

God rest her soul.

I posted a Video showing the aftermath of what Hamas did after they murdered civvies and the barbarism they committed in a kibbutz they Entered. Not one of the Hamas supporters on here condemned it or posted on it, which shows the mindset of these members. On a side note, The home Secretary Suela Braverman has been asked by the Met Police Commissionaire why Demonstrators shouting Jihad on the streets of London were not arrested for incitement and shouting Racist chants.

Wrong way round buddy. Braverman asked the Met Chief why they were not arrested, and has demanded an explanation from him

I thought that was the question I asked Eloquent. last week it was announced anyone protesting and using anti-Israeli slogans would be arrested.

Did you also note that Iran was not on the list? They are Hamas's puppet masters and key decision makers as to how this plays out. The meeting is taking place now in Cairo with them trying to set out a road map with no key decision makers there.

 

Yes, Iran was not an attendee.  Not sure saudi arabia was either.  US sent top embassy official, but he did not speak.

 

As you say, the main military forces and funders  not attending.  Up to them.

 

If you're interested here's UN's press release of outcome.

Mr Guterres speech seemed statesman like to me.  

 

Not sure what effect it will have ofcourse.

I think that Antonio Guterres is as good a Secretary General as the UN has had for many years. The problem is that the UN is a busted flush, a well intended relic that has become a pointless organisation. The UN Security Council comprises of 15 countries, 10 of which are rotating members, with 5 permanent members. Any of the five permanent members, the USA, Russia, France, China, and the UK, can veto any resolution put forward even if the other 14 members support it.

 

I’m sure you can see the problem; in the last couple of years, Russia has vetoed 4 resolutions regarding Ukraine, and China vetos any resolution regarding their illegal expansionism in the South China sea.

 

Statesman like speeches on the Israeli - Gaza war, fade like shadows into the night.

You have once again, unsurprisingly, either completely failed to comprehend simple English or you have deliberately misrepresented what I have stated.

 

I have been very clear that there is not, at the moment, enough evidence for either side to definitively prove that the other side is the guilty party and therefore, anyone who values the truth and facts over partisanship and point scoring would acknowledge this reality and reserve their opinion until sufficient reputable evidence is provided.

 

Please provided proof that I have stated that I am sure the hospital has been bombed or withdraw your false claims and apologise.

Hamas Fails to Make Case That Israel Struck Hospital

"“The missile has dissolved like salt in the water,” Ghazi Hamad, a senior Hamas official, said in a phone interview. “It’s vaporized. Nothing is left.”

We should leave the Neo Nazis with their lefty loon antiamericanism/antisemitism/antiwest aside in this discussion and start looking at the geopolitical aspects, viz:

 

1. Iran stands in the way of Pan-Turkism

2. Israel is worth more to Turkey than Hamas

3. Israel is a strong ally of Azerbaijan

4. Azerbaijan is a Turkic nation, secular Muslim too.

5. 35% (I think) of Iran is Azeri.

6. Both Turkey and Azerbaijan have Nato aspirations

 

Whatever Turkey does will be with the foregoing in mind.

Is bombing churches one of their obligations? 

Do you agree this is a war crime? 

Saw a very sad video of one man whose 3 children were killed here.

Not a crime if Palestine was firing rockets from the church.

There are no tickets fired from the church. 

The terrorist attack was not a war crime. 

Firing  rockets from residential areas probably is a war crime.

   The Hamas attack on Israel was indeed a war crime  , it was actually numerous war crimes committed by Hamas , taking hostages is just one of the Hamas war crimes

First sentence talks about "...the occupied Gaza Strip..", The Gaza has not been occupied for 15-20 years, so no, why would I bother reading it, much less agree with it?
